    Staff Appraisal Report Guyana - Secondary School Reform Project
    (World Bank, 1996-05-15) World Bank. Human and Social Capital Development Group
    The primary objective of the Secondary School Reform Project was to assist the Government to initiate a long-term, multi-phased reform programme to improve quality, relevance, equity and efficiency of secondary education in Guyana. More specifically, the project aimed to: 1) develop measures to improve the quality and efficiency of lower secondary education and to test them at a limited number of schools in order to gain acceptance before extending the reform to the rest of the system; 2) improve the school environment by supporting rehabilitation and repair of schools; and 3) enhance the ability of national and regional institutions to design, plan for, and implement sustainable education reforms. The programme had the following three components: 1) educational programme quality, including support to school management, training of principals, deputy principals, and department heads, introduction of a common curriculum, provision of textbooks and other instructional materials, in-service training, supervision, and performance monitoring; 2) school environment, comprising a pilot schools sub-component and an emergency school repair sub-component; and 3) national and regional institutional strengthening, project management, budget planning, organization and management, nationwide physical facilities survey, school information system, and a social awareness campaign.
